Hello Reader,

In my last newsletter I was toying with the idea of sharing my message more on TikTok. Since then, I've realised that it's much bigger than that. It's about sharing my message, unfiltered, in whatever way it occurs to do so.

In a world of AI generated content and self-editing (in other words, forever checking oneself against what the 'expected' societal 'norms' and rules are for fear of deviating and people thinking something about you that you don't want them to think about you!), it's hard to actually *know* someone.

Over the last few years I've been leaning more and more into what it is I actually want, and following that, rather than following a set of rules and plans that other people have created for me.

And it isn't easy all of the time. Not least because 'Bob' (that pesky negative voice in the mind - aka thought) likes to regularly tell me that I'm doing it wrong and should be doing it another way.

Take my grey hair as a perfect example.

Since I was in my late 20's I have been going grey thus I've been dying my hair to cover it up. Afraid of looking older than I am, afraid of the judgement of others, afraid of not fitting in.

Then around two years ago, inspired by a much younger client of mine who was going 'aux natural' (you know who you are - thank you!), I took the plunge and stopped putting chemicals on my head. After all, for many years I've used natural skin products because I know what I put on my skin goes into my body. Yet I carried on putting, although 'natural colourants,' chemicals in my body.

It was time to stop that but boy has Bob been active about it at times. When I'm with all my female friends and not one of them has grey hair (although I know they do); when I'm sitting on the Tube in London with no single woman showing any signs of aging; when I pass someone I know but haven't seen for years and they don't recognise me. That's tough. And not because of anything 'out there' but simply because the thoughts that rise up and get paid attention to are like daggers to the heart. There have been multiple times when I've been tempted to reach for the bottle again.

But I know, deep within, that I don't want to do that. I don't want to hide the fact that I'm aging, even though we are told from all angles to do that (especially as women). On my last trip to London I counted 3 'aesthetics' clinics in one street!

What I'm eventually getting at here is that it takes courage to go against the societal tide. To go against the advice that the top business owners give about building a business; to go against the 'norms' of how we 'should' look; to says the words you want to say but fear the response.

And instead to do what feels good for you.

So if you have a desire to live life following your own rules; doing your own thing; speaking your own truth not the one that you've innocently acquired, then perhaps you'd like to join my new Mastermind group - a mastermind group being a peer-to-peer mentoring group where members get help and input from their fellow group members.

We’ll meet twice a month on Zoom for a 60 minute Mastermind session where you can bring your worries and blocks and get the support of others, along with coaching from me, if required.

Connect in WhatsApp in between sessions…a safe space to share words or content you’re not ready to release into the world yet, ask questions, seek support, bounce ideas around, be held accountable and encourage and boost each other.

The investment is just £50 per month on a rolling basis. Join and leave as and when it suits you with no minimum time frame.

Access reduced price 1:1 coaching with me while you’re a member.

The fortnightly meetings will be every other Friday from 12.30 – 13.30 BST. Starting Friday 3^rd July.

If this sounds like something you'd love then you'll already know. You've read this far after all. Hit reply and let me know you're in.

I can't wait to see you there.

Until next time, happy experimenting.

Much love,

Vicki

Upcoming events

Intuitive Doodling Session

I'm now offering weekly Intuitive Doodling sessions for free on the Insight Timer App (also free). If you follow me there you will be notified on the App when I am doing these live events.

The next one will be tomorrow at 8am BST. If you'd like the opportunity to connect to yourself (that which knows or is aware) and to see what emerges from that place then schedule it into your diary. There is no need for you to be creative in any way. The session is about connecting to intuition or knowing and to allow the pen or pencil to move from there. What gets created is unimportant and can be thrown away. This is simply another way to come to know what you are beneath the busy mind.

Nature Wellbeing Walk - Listening For a Feeling: 25th July 10.30am - 12pm

I'm teaming up with Rebecca Abrahams, a qualified therapist who has experience of connecting and restoring both nature and human health and wellbeing, to deliver a 90 minute guided walk on Woodbury Common, Devon. We will be encouraging a connection to both intuition and nature through deep listening and creativity.

The session is free but places are limited to 16 so if you'd like a spot reply to this email and I'll put you on the list before it is widely advertised.

Ways To Work With Me

Read my books

I've written two books, both of which invite you to experiment and explore living life differently. The first, The Truth Beyond Thought; Experiments To Rediscover Peace & Freedom, helps guide you to first seeing what you're not, to remembering what you are. The second, Intuition Experiment, is a combination of book and journal, and invites you into a month-long experiment to living life from intuition rather than conditioned habitual thinking. Both are available to download on my website as PDF's or on Amazon as e-books or physical books.

The Intuition Experiment Community

This is my supportive monthly membership that you can join and leave at any time, to explore living more from intuition (or 'true self') than from conditioned, habitual thoughts. It's where I'm most active in supporting individuals to live a free-er life outside of my 1:1 work. If you find yourself wanting to live life differently, then join this lovely small community to transition to a new paradigm. One where more ease and flow is available, more of the time. Full details here.​​

1:1 Coaching/Mentoring

I have space for a couple of people in my 1:1 work. If you'd like more personalised support to live a life of freedom then book a free exploratory call to see if we might be a good fit to work together. The call itself may be enough to move you forward...
